Fable al PC!!!!

Fable

Or possibly to a PC not near you, depending on your PC-proximity

The over-hyped but still good Fable will be coming to the PC before the year is out, most likely around Autumn time or thereabouts.

The new version will include more quests for the player to undertake, more lands to explore and more storyline to be engrossed in. Along with these additions will be more weapons, new armour and fresh spells to cast, along with new monsters to put it all into action against.

Oh, and it's been titled Fable: The Lost Chapters. That's your lot for now. More as we get it.

Microsoft spinning Fable for the PC


PC version of Molyneux's epic choose-your-adventure will get new content; Fable: The Lost Chapters will be available this fall.


Lionhead frontman Peter Molyneux and Microsoft Game Studios are doing their best Aesop impressions for PC gamers. Microsoft today announced that the popular Xbox title Fable is headed for the PC this fall, under the name Fable: The Lost Chapters. The much-hyped title was released on Microsoft's console last September and was developed by Big Blue Box, which is owned by Black & White developer Lionhead Studios.

As indicated by the title, the PC version will feature additional content not found on its console counterpart. There will be additional quests to undertake, new regions to explore, and a deeper storyline. Gamers will also be able to use new armor and weapons, cast new spells, and slay new creatures.

In Fable, players start as a young boy and eventually reach old age, with every choice they make effecting their character. Gamers can take their alter-ego along the path of righteousness, acquiring a saintly sheen and becoming the toast of the town, or choose a path of evil, growing devilish horns, attracting a swarm of flies, and witnessing townsfolk fleeing in terror at the character's mere appearance. By using certain weapons or acting in certain manners, the hero's physical appearance may change--slim and sleek for players who use ranged weapons and spells or buff and burly for those who scrap face-to-face.

Fable: The Lost Chapters will retail for $49.99 when it hits shelves this fall, and is currently awaiting a rating. For more information on the game, choose the path of GameSpot's full review of the Xbox version.

Fable sounds like it was a tough project. Peter Molyneux, lead designer, sat down for a close personable talk with around a thousand of his closest friends to go over what went wrong during development. There was nothing particularly shocking about the production. Sure, the game’s story was 15 times the size of the end product, but we all know Molyneux. If anything, I’m surprised it was only 15 times bigger. Some interesting tidbits came out.

It used to be a game with battling mages, with a multiplayer focus, called Wishworld.
Fable used to take place on multiple continents. It was so big that they had the world on a globe at one point.
One sketch of a young-looking warrior started the entire discussion about beginning the game as a kid. It just goes to show you how important the concept art stage is.
Everything in the world used to transform as you made your good vs. evil decisions throughout the game. Every other person, the bushes, the birds, everything was touched.
The name Project Ego was brainstormed last minute before an E3 announcement. They needed a name and that’s the best they could do at the time. Next time, have some Jack Daniels before you make the call, Mr. Molyneux. It does wonders for the imagination.
When the first playable build was due, they had no story, and no combat. Microsoft must have been as close to nervous as Microsoft can get.
Choice quote, when talking about MS being nervous about “intimate relations”: “To be a hero and not have sex? What’s the point?”
Molyneux was disappointed in the cinematics. He thinks they get in the way of the gameplay. We agree.
